The AIChE Annual Meeting is the premier educational forum for chemical engineers interested in innovation and professional growth. Academic and industry experts will cover wide range of topics relevant to cutting-edge research, new technologies, and emerging growth areas in chemical engineering.

Established and new members of our community will be brought together to discuss the latest progress in Constraint-Based Reconstruction and Analysis (COBRA). It will be chaired by Kiran Patil, EMBL and will take place in Heidelberg, Germany.

Incidents are minor occurrences and are often the result of a single failure or defect. Join Incident Investigation expert Brian Kelly for an in-depth look at a look at the systematic process of examining and evaluating the causes of an incident so that recurrence can be prevented.
